“Combining USB DAC and headphone amplifier technologies in a compact, pocket-friendly design, the GO Bar Kensei is a fit for on-the-go audiophiles. Utilising its USB-C connection for both power and hi-res file playback, iFi Audio’s stunning portable delivers a superb performance to headphones, whether IEMs or conventional over-ear designs, via its 3.5mm/4.4mm outputs. Key to this is the GO Bar’s high-quality hardware engineering, and the integration of JVCKenwood’s K2HD processing to revive the natural sound of digital recordings.
